Husband of Ohio ex-fugitive executive arrested

COLUMBUS, Ohio 
Federal authorities in Los Angeles have arrested the husband of a former fugitive who spent more than two years in Mexico following her conviction in Ohio in a $1.9 billion corporate fraud.

Gary Green is accused of lying to investigators about contact he had with Rebecca Parrett while she was in Mexico, including two occasions when he allegedly arranged separate cash payments to her of $10,000.

The U.S. Attorney's office says the 50-year-old Green was arrested by U.S. Marshals on Thursday.

Green, who does not yet have a lawyer, faces up to five years in prison if convicted.

A federal judge last month ordered the 62-year-old Parrett to begin serving a 25-year sentence for her role in the health care financing fraud at the now-defunct National Century Financial Services, based in suburban Columbus.
